Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

Mu Yu took out the tracking token that belonged to Han Li, but she did not see the corresponding coordinates.

Clearly, Han Li on the other side has turned off the location tracking function.

Since Han Li advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the location token Mu Yu placed beside him has been replaced with a token that Han Li can turn on and off at any time.

After all, they are cultivators of the same level, so they should still maintain a certain distance when interacting with each other and not treat Han Li as one of their own.

Sometimes, distance can foster deeper friendships.

After activating her location tracking, Mu Yu put the tracking token into her storage bag.

After thinking it over, Mu Yu simply returned to Yellow Maple Valley.

Mu Yu didn't plan to get involved in the matter of the Ancient Demon Lord's soul. Anyway, he would only kill a few Nascent Soul cultivators, and then he would be driven to the Great Jin by the cultivators of Tiannan.

If he goes, it might cause other complications.

After speeding along, Mu Yu didn't encounter many people and returned directly to Huangfeng Valley.

Mu Yu went to Xin Ruyin, who was studying the restrictions, to learn about the trivial matters that had happened recently. Of course, the main focus was still on the whereabouts of the ancient demon master's soul.

Just as Mu Yu had predicted, after the ancient demon master's soul escaped from the Fallen Demon Valley, it went on a rampage, annihilating many small cultivation families and seizing three demonic artifacts from them.

Afterwards, he went to the vicinity of the boundless sea and used some kind of demonic technique to self-destruct a demonic artifact, causing seven spiritual mountains to appear near the boundless sea, as well as a large whirlpool to appear on the sea surface.

Afterwards, it seems that the ancient demon's divided soul did something within the demon abyss beneath that vortex.

In short, when this demon reappeared, it was no longer in the form of Lu Weiying who had possessed his body, but had become an existence exactly like that ancient demon's body.

Right now, the three great cultivators of Tiannan are organizing a force to besiege the ancient demon, and Han Li and Nangong Wan have naturally been called over to oversee the operation.

As for Linghu, he stayed on the seven newly emerged spiritual mountains on the boundless sea, responsible for closely monitoring the situation of the whirlpool.

As for why Xin Ruyin knew so much, it was naturally Linghu who told her to wait until Mu Yu returned and then inform her of this information.

In addition, Xin Ruyin also participated in completing the array that sealed the demonic energy, and is currently in Huangfeng Valley, studying the array manuals provided by other sects.

In the cultivation world, there are very few high-level cultivators who specialize in studying formations. Xin Ruyin is already the most proficient in formations in the entire Tiannan.

Of course, the fact that the three great cultivators of Tiannan chose to seek help from Xin Ruyin was also a way of giving Mu Yu face.

After all, Mu Yu already had two records of killing late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, one of which was against a powerful enemy like the Ancient Demon, whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Nobody wants to be next, so it's essential to show goodwill in situations like this.

After briefly understanding the situation, Mu Yu didn't go anywhere but went straight back to his cave to cultivate in seclusion.

Three months later, the hunt for the ancient demon came to an end.

The main soul of this ancient demon fled for several months under the pursuit of the entire Tiannan cultivation world. Finally, after learning that Mu Yu had come out of the Fallen Demon Valley, it chose to cross the Mulan Grassland and head to the Great Jin Dynasty.

To be able to escape the pursuit of three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators for so long, it seems that the Ancient Demon Lord's soul gained quite a few benefits in the Demon Abyss of the Boundless Sea.

During this time, Wei Wuyai learned that Mu Yu had come out of the Demon Valley and sent people to look for him, hoping that Mu Yu would help subdue the demon.

But Mu Yu wouldn't kill the Ancient Demon Lord's soul; he was waiting for the Ancient Demon to activate the Kunwu Mountain instance.

After all, if the Ancient Demon Lord's Soul didn't open the Kunwu Mountain dungeon, he would have to expend a lot of effort.

Some things that don't look good for Mu Yu's future must be changed.

However, there is no need to stop things that are beneficial to Mu Yu.

With the matter of the Ancient Demon concluded, Han Li and Nangong Wan returned to Huangfeng Valley and received a considerable amount of pills from Mu Yu.

In exchange, Han Li's little green bottle was taken by Mu Yu.

For the next thirty years, all the products produced by this little green bottle will belong to Mu Yu.

A year later, Xin Ruyin finally figured out a way to complete the great formation, and Mu Yu took her to the boundless sea north of Xi Kingdom.

Upon arriving at the seaside, Mu Yu immediately noticed the seven striking islands, and the originally sparse spiritual energy near the boundless sea had become much denser.

Such a huge change suggests that the spiritual energy density here before the ancient demon invasion was not as high as that of the Great Jin Dynasty, but it was not much different.

Of the seven spirit islands here, three currently belong to Huangfeng Valley. For some reason, the other three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators did not express any dissatisfaction.

However, not many people came to guard Huangfeng Valley, so it was up to Elder Linghu to do the work.

However, not many people came to guard Huangfeng Valley, so it was up to Elder Linghu to do the work.

Over the years, Huangfeng Valley has actually produced more than twenty Core Formation stage cultivators, but compared with those large sects, Huangfeng Valley's foundation is still quite weak.

Even if Mu Yu offered up countless miraculous medicines, it wouldn't make a difference.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, you've finally arrived."

"If you don't come soon, we'll have to try other methods. After all, the massive amount of demonic energy deep within the Demon Abyss is about to overflow."

Just as Mu Yu approached the vicinity of the giant whirlpool, Venerable Zhiyang appeared and greeted him in a very familiar manner.

But in reality, Mu Yu and he barely exchanged a few words.

However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Mu Yu pretended to be very familiar with him and started chatting.

"Ancient formations are truly mysterious; it's normal that they took a little time."

Mu Yu spoke very calmly, as if she were genuinely embarrassed.

In fact, without Xin Ruyin, it would probably take the cultivators of Tiannan twenty or thirty years to come up with a concrete solution on their own.

This is the difference between a true array genius and an ordinary array master.

If Xin Ruyin didn't have such talent, how could Mu Yu have planned so much and finally persuaded Ancestor Linghu to personally save the life of a Qi Refining stage female cultivator while only at the Qi Refining stage?

However, we still can't let Xin Ruyin's talent be revealed too much, otherwise people will be jealous and might even try to harm her.

After briefly mentioning the difficulty of repairing the formation, Mu Yu shifted the topic to the Demon Abyss beneath the boundless sea.

Demonic energy is actually a good thing for demonic cultivators.

However, most demonic cultivators in the human realm rely on spiritual energy for cultivation and cannot be considered pure demonic cultivators at all.

Therefore, the demonic energy beneath the Demon Abyss, if excessive, is also harmful to demonic cultivators.

In fact, demonic cultivators in the human realm cannot stay in places with excessively high concentrations of demonic energy for long. If they stay for too long, they are very likely to fall into a berserk state due to the entry of demonic energy into their bodies.

Therefore, the task of setting up the array at the deepest part of the Demon Abyss still had to be done by Mu Yu.

Even the Old Demon of Hehuan, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who specialized in demonic arts, couldn't withstand that demonic energy.

However, for Mu Yu, this place is a good place for cultivation. The spiritual veins on Seven Spirits Island are quite good, and the demonic energy in the Demon Abyss is just right for the demonic nascent soul to cultivate.

As long as you control the rate at which you absorb demonic energy, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Incidentally, Mu Yu can also use the pure demonic energy inside to refine all the souls within the Myriad Soul Banner into true demonic spirits.

In this way, under the influence of demonic energy, the demonic spirits within the Myriad Souls Banner might achieve immortality. As long as the demonic energy persists, the demonic spirits can be resurrected indefinitely.

Only then will the Myriad Souls Banner be truly complete.

Of course, there is no such thing as a truly immortal body in this world, and the demonic spirit within the Myriad Soul Banner will also be slain.

The limit that Mu Yu can achieve is simply preventing large numbers of casualties during combat.

After all, when the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was used to strangle the Ghost Spirit Sect's leader, Zhong, it did cause considerable damage to his soul.

Mu Yu was reluctant to kill people to replenish his soul, so he simply took out a lot of beast souls from the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages as a supplement.

In any case, all souls are the same to the Myriad Soul Banner.

……

When it came to setting up formations deep within the Demon Abyss, Mu Yu naturally wanted to involve Han Li.

After all, in the entire human realm, it is estimated that only Mu Yu and Han Li, who possess a massive amount of evil-repelling divine lightning, have the ability to descend to the lowest level of this demonic abyss.

The space below the Demon Abyss is vast, which is perfect for recruiting Han Li as a helper to find more things like Demon Marrow Diamonds.

In addition, Mu Yu also brought Yin Yue with her on this trip.

Now, Silver Moon's soul has recovered considerably, and her four-eyed spirit fox form has reached the peak of the seventh-level demon beast; she is only one step away from passing the transformation tribulation.

Although the speed of cultivation was a bit outrageous, Yin Yue's cultivation could hardly be called cultivation; it would be more accurate to describe it as restoring her strength. In addition, with Mu Yu's unlimited supply of pills, this speed was considered normal.

However, Yin Yue has no intention of undergoing the transformation tribulation. Her true form is currently a spirit, and the fact that she can help the Four-Eyed Spirit Fox cultivate to the peak of the seventh-level demon beast is already the limit.

Unless, Silvermoon completely abandons her identity as a spirit.

Even so, given the unique nature of the Silver Moon Soul Body, she might still not be able to survive the Transformation Tribulation.

However, even a level seven peak demon beast could be somewhat useful to Mu Yu.

With her foundation as a half-soul in the Nascent Soul stage, combined with the illusionary talent of the Four-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Spirit Concealing Veil crafted by Mu Yu, she could even hide herself from the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

In truth, what drove the Great Evolution God to such a frenzied state was a casual remark by Mu Yu.

After all, there are indeed cultivators in the spirit world who use puppets as their physical bodies.

Upon learning this news, the Great Evolution God Lord began to study how to make the puppet cultivate normally like a human.

If a method can be developed to completely merge with the puppet, the Great Evolution God Lord might be able to find an opportunity to cultivate again.

After all, even if puppets have a lifespan limit, their lifespan should still be much longer than that of humans.

Mu Yu neither cared about nor paid attention to his progress.

Given his cultivation speed, he probably won't be able to wait for the Great Evolution Divine Lord to continue developing the Great Evolution Technique, so he should wait until he reaches the Spirit Realm before searching for other secret techniques.

The fifth level of the Great Evolution Technique has not yet been completed. Mu Yu is not in a hurry to obtain the subsequent techniques, nor is he interested in having some kind of old man or other such accessory by his side.

However, if they were to go to the Great Jin, they would have to bring the other person along, since Mu Yu had not yet obtained the method for making the late-stage Nascent Soul puppet; he only knew that he needed to collect the materials.

Now, let's go down and bring up that Transformation God Mud first.

After completing their preparations, Mu Yu and Han Li covered themselves with a layer of warding-off divine lightning and descended into the depths of the demonic abyss.

"Our next task is to find the Magic Marrow Diamond."

"Silver Moon, your cultivation level is currently the lowest in this spirit fox body. I'll give you this for now for self-defense. Leave the task of setting up the formation to me."

Mu Yu temporarily handed the Qingyuan Sword Pill, which was about the size of an infant's fist, to Yin Yue. After Yin Yue received it, a faint arc of electricity enveloped her, isolating her from the surrounding demonic energy.

Han Li wasted no time; after determining the meeting place, he went out to search for treasure.

Although Han Li did not possess the Azure Origin Sword Pill, which could store the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder contained within the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords he carried was sufficient for his use.

Next, Mu Yu located the original location of the array eye, put away the broken stone tablet made of the Divine Mud of Transformation, and then placed the carefully crafted array plate into it.

After placing the array plates, Mu Yu's mission was considered complete, and it was time to start the treasure hunt.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Yin Yue and Han Li had long since returned to the place where Mu Yu had agreed to meet, but Mu Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Although the warding-off divine thunder is not lacking for the time being, it is a bit too outrageous that it has not returned for such a long time.

Finally, accompanied by a whooshing sound, Mu Yu arrived at the scene.

"How many Demon Marrow Diamonds have you collected?"

Upon returning, Mu Yu couldn't wait to ask about the two's gains.

Silver Moon didn't speak, but instead spat out five orbs of light from the fox's mouth. After the orbs dissipated, they revealed the appearance of five magic marrow diamonds.

Seeing this, Han Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "I only got three."

After taking the three Demonic Marrow Diamonds from Han Li, Mu Yu considered them for a moment and said:

"I collected seven, making a total of fifteen. I suppose that should be all."

Even if some were missed, it would probably only be one or two.

"These should only be enough to forge one Demon Dragon Blade."

"It seems I can only forge a replica for you. Do you prefer throwing knives or throwing needles?"

Han Li hadn't expected that he would actually get a share of such a treasure; he had originally thought he was just someone who had been called here to work.

Even if it's just a replica of the Demon Dragon Blade, an item comparable to a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure is enough to serve as Han Li's trump card.

"Then... let's use flying needles!"

Han Li spoke up somewhat awkwardly. Although Mu Yu had always maintained a fair trading relationship with him, Han Li himself knew how much of a bargain he had gained.

"Okay, I'll send it to you after I've finished refining it."

"It's almost time, we should leave."

After Mu Yu finished speaking, he put the Silver Moon back into his storage bag and also put the Azure Origin Sword Pill back into his body.

If it weren't for the fact that Mu Yu Yin Yue still had his own magic weapon—the Soul Nourishing and Spirit Enriching Pearl—in his possession, he wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting this natal magic weapon to anyone else.

Even so, Mu Yu felt much more at ease after retrieving the Azure Origin Sword Pill.

When they flew out of that vortex of spiritual energy, Mu Yu could clearly see the worried yet somewhat complicated expressions on the faces of Wei Wuyai and the other two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Clearly, deep down they actually hoped that Mu Yu would fall into the Demon Abyss, but they were also worried that the Demon Abyss was too dangerous and would eventually erupt completely.

Seeing Mu Yu return safely, the expressions of these three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were somewhat complicated.

On the surface, however, the three of them maintained a peaceful demeanor, as if they had a good relationship with Mu Yu.

Mu Yu didn't care about the attitudes of the three great cultivators who were different on the surface.

After all, if it were him, having been a big shot his whole life, he would also feel very awkward if someone suddenly appeared who had the ability to kill him.

After all, if it were him, having been a big shot his whole life, he would also feel very awkward if someone suddenly appeared who had the ability to kill him.

It should be noted that Mu Yu already has a record of killing late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators twice, even though he is at a higher level.

"The array plate is almost installed; all that's needed is to activate the array."

"And for the next thirty years, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I will personally guard this area."

Upon hearing this, the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. The three of us will also arrange some subordinates to guard the area. If you have any trivial matters to attend to, just let them know."

Master Zhiyang spoke up, directly making a guarantee for the other two.

The other two naturally had no objections. Arranging for people to watch over her was not the main purpose; the main purpose was to figure out Mu Yu's thoughts.

If he has any other plans, these three Nascent Soul stage cultivators should react in advance.

Next, the three of them subtly probed further, even promising to offer some benefits.

Mu Yu doesn't want anything that involves sect responsibilities, power, or territory, but he is naturally unwilling to let go of rare spiritual materials and treasures.

So, the five of them held a small trade fair, where Mu Yu used the body and inner core of the poisonous dragon to extort a large sum of money from Wei Wuyai.

But after the transaction was completed, Wei Wuyai was actually happier.

Meanwhile, because Mu Yu also brought Han Li into the conversation, Han Li managed to acquire quite a few valuable items from these three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

After everything came to a close, Mu Yu took Han Li back to Spirit Turtle Island.

Actually, Mu Yu didn't really like this name.

However, the island really does resemble a spirit turtle, and forcibly changing its name would be a bad idea.

At this moment, Mu Yu's cave dwelling on the island has been mostly built and is just waiting to be set up with formations.

Mu Yu wasn't picky and casually set up a Five Elements Reversal Formation to use.

"You had something you wanted to say to me earlier, was it because of the evil spirit entering your body?"

After Mu Yu finished setting up the cave dwelling, he immediately spoke.

Han Li was taken aback when he heard this, but then he immediately understood.

"Could it be... Brother Mu, you too have encountered something like evil energy entering your body?"

Seeing Mu Yu nod, Han Li gave a wry smile.

"Alright, it's just a little bit of malevolent energy. The malevolent energy on me is much stronger than yours."

"I'm going to the Great Jin Dynasty in thirty years. Do you want to come with me?"
